Yes, this is a simple physical change and matter is always conserved in these. In fact, matter is always conserved except in nuclear reactions where the sum of matter and energy is conserved.
matter
Inertia of matter.
When you throw matter from a height, mechanical energy is not conserved by you, but it is by the matter. You are exerting mechanical energy to throw the object, and the matter is conserving it by not having to do any work to move.

The amount of matter is conserved.
Matter and total energy are ALWAYS conserved. However, in a food web, you will often consider the USABLE energy; this gets reduced at each step of the food web.
No, matter is not conserved when it is burned. When matter undergoes combustion, it reacts with oxygen in the air to form new compounds, releasing energy in the form of heat and light as well as producing byproducts like carbon dioxide and water vapor. This means that the original matter is transformed into different substances.
In geophysical processes, matter and energy are conserved through various mechanisms. Matter is cycled through processes like the rock cycle, water cycle, and carbon cycle, where elements are transferred and transformed but not created or destroyed. Energy is conserved through processes like energy transfer within Earth's systems (such as heat transfer in the mantle) and energy exchange with the atmosphere (such as solar radiation driving weather patterns). These processes ensure that matter and energy are continuously recycled and conserved within the Earth system.
